London
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the London Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,400. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $3,400 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $2,600 • Fitting and training sessions: $350 • Delivery and set-up: $120 • First-year servicing plan: $330 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
